Thank you for visiting the Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program website at the University of Florida, Gainesville!

The Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program at the University of Florida College of Medicine was accredited by the ACGME in 1987. Since then, over 89 fellows have completed training with our program and have gone on to practice in various sectors, including private, hospital, governmental, non-profit, and academic settings.

The duration of our program is two years, with an optional third year following a Clinical/Education, Global Medicine/Planetary Health, or Research track. We aim to provide exceptional training in clinical care and research with various opportunities for fellows with distinct career interests. We tailor the fellowship experience to each fellow’s needs to facilitate the achievement of their career goals.

We offer exceptional training opportunities at the UF/Shands and Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center Hospitals. We are committed to offering a program that allows our fellows to gain excellent foundational knowledge with the flexibility of individualized training experiences. Our tailored academics allow for additional experiences, or specialization, in transplant ID, antimicrobial stewardship, hospital epidemiology, research, global medicine, and more.

All potential fellow applications undergo an anonymous, holistic review. Selected candidates are then invited to interview with our program virtually.

We invite you to learn more by exploring the rest of our website.
